As you know, here in New Jersey we were hit pretty hard by Hurricane Sandy. I'm going on almost ten straight days without power, so having as much juice as I can for my devices is a necessity at this point. Thankfullly I've been able to charge up in my car or at friend's houses, and when I do, I try to max out as much as possible. I've had my trust external battery charger with me (along with four spare batteries) so that I can charge up enough to keep me going for a few days. Even if you're not in a disaster situation, it's definitely handy to have one of these chargers and a few spare batteries to keep you up and running. You can grab one of our Battery Life Bundles now at ShopCrackBerry.com (for most devices) and keep reading for your chance to win one!

CONTEST:

To enter to win a BlackBerry Battery Life Bundle, simply leave a comment to this blog. If we don't have a bundle that fits your device, we'll send you a spare battery instead. Contest ends this Sunday night at Midnight PST. Please, just one entry per person.

After getting hit with an upgrade policy change and losing out in charity auction for a 9900, it looks like I'll be stuck with my Torch 9800 for at least another year. Since the upgrade to OS 6.0.706, battery life seems to have decreased, so I could really use another battery and bundle to allow me to get through the heavy days.

This is sorely needed for my 9900. I logged into the Crackberry Store a few days back to buy a new battery, and after picking out a few other items, and noticing I had enough for free shipping, I forgot to add a battery to my cart. My delivery should come today...minus the battery I need.

I have always been a believer in spare batteries. As a ham radio operator, I have spare batteries for my 2-way radios. Why not also for the phone. I will be getting the new OS 10 phone when it comes out.

For those of you with T-Mobile or ATT, go into options/networks and connections/mobile network. Where it says Network Mode, change it to 2G only. This will put you on EDGE instead of the battery hogging 3G. Believe me, it makes a huge difference. I've been on it since last Monday morning and now charge my T-Mobile 9780 every 2 to 3 days.

That's the smart thing to do. I'm in radio broadcast and in times where we need to be in places where power is a concern, this is just what's perfect to keep the news and info going (and saving lives, too)
